Basis of PresentationThe accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, the condensed consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 are unaudited. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of eHealths statement of financial position as of June 30, 2008, its
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

Significant CustomersRevenue for all periods presented was generated from customers located solely in the United States. The following carriers (or carriers owned by them) represented 10% or more
of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 (unaudited):

Revenue attributable to individual and family product offerings represented approximately 84% of
our commission revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and approximately 87% of our commission revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. We define individual and family product offerings as major medical
individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life and student health insurance product offerings.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsWe implemented SFAS No. 157 (SFAS
157), Fair Value Measurement, effective January 1, 2008 for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, we have elected to defer until January 1, 2009 the
implementation of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 did not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We adopted SFAS No. 159
(SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for
specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The implementation of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as we did not elect to adopt the fair
value option under this Statement.

Note 3  Fair Value Measurements

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures
about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. SFAS No. 157
classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or

Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or

Inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The following table presents information about our financial assets (cash equivalents and
marketable securities) that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands,

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. We used observable
prices in active markets in determining the classification of our money market funds as Level 1. We primarily relied on independent market pricing data in determining the classification of our cash equivalents and marketable securities that trade in
non-active markets as Level 2. We did not hold any financial assets as of June 30, 2008 that were classified as Level 3.

Note 4 
Stockholders Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

Stockholders Equity

Stock Plans Our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) became effective in October 2006. As of June 30, 2008, we
had 2,842,308 shares of our common stock available for future grants under the 2006 Plan. On January 1 of each year, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2006 Plan will automatically increase by the lowest of
(a) 1,500,000 shares, (b) 4% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding or (c) a lower number determined by our board of directors or its compensation committee. As of January 1, 2008, shares reserved
under the 2006 Plan automatically increased by 987,473 shares, which equaled 4% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding.

Note 5  Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 43%. Due to the
large amount of remaining net operating loss credit carryforwards available at December 31, 2007, we expect to pay federal and state taxes in 2008 on a cash basis at or below the alternative minimum tax rate, which is approximately 3%. During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 41%. Our deferred tax assets were reduced due to the utilization of net
operating losses against taxable income in the current quarter.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, we had approximately $2.4 million and $2.5 million,
respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, there were $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Due to net operating losses, all tax
years after 1998 are open to examination and adjustment.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the fiscal period. Diluted
net income per share is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock, including options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by
application of the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in
thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited):

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, we had securities
outstanding that could potentially dilute earnings per share, but the shares from the assumed conversion or exercise of these securities were excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The number of outstanding anti-dilutive weighted shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands, unaudited):

Revenue for all periods presented was generated from customers located solely in the United States. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008,

discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein. We undertake
no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are the leading online source of health
insurance for individuals, families and small businesses. Our ecommerce platform enables individuals, families and small businesses to research, analyze, compare and purchase health insurance products that best meet their needs. Our technology also
enables us to communicate electronically with our insurance carrier partners and process consumers health insurance applications online. As a result, we simplify and streamline the complex and traditionally paper-intensive health insurance
sales and purchasing process.

Since our incorporation in November 1997, we have spent a significant amount on technology and content
related to our ecommerce platform. We have also invested significant time and resources in obtaining licenses to sell health insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, developing diverse and successful member acquisition programs and
establishing relationships with over 180 leading insurance carriers, enabling us to offer thousands of health insurance products online. Our first online transaction relating to the sale of a health insurance policy was completed during the fourth
quarter of 1998.

Our financial model is characterized by recurring revenue, an average member product life that exceeds two years
(estimated on a revenue weighted-average basis for all products purchased through us, including short-term products that are on average held for less than four months) and health insurance pricing that is set by each health insurance carrier and
approved by state regulators. We generate revenue primarily from commissions we receive from health insurance carriers whose policies are purchased through us by individuals, families and small businesses. We typically receive commission payments on
a monthly basis for as long as a policy remains active. As a result, much of our revenue for a given financial reporting period relates to policies that we sold prior to the beginning of the period and is recurring in nature. Because health
insurance pricing is set by the carrier and approved by state regulators, health insurance pricing is fixed. We, therefore, are not generally subject to negotiation or discounting of prices by health insurance carriers or our competitors.

Sources of Revenue

Revenue

Commission revenue represented 94% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, and 90% and 91% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The remainder of our revenue is primarily attributable to carrier sponsorship advertising on our website and licensing arrangements
related to our technology. Our commission revenue has grown principally as a result of our penetration of the individual and family health insurance markets and corresponding growth in our membership. We estimate that as of June 30, 2008 we had
approximately 579,600 members compared to the estimated 518,400 members we reported at December 31, 2007. We define a member as an individual covered by an insurance product for which we are entitled to receive compensation.

We believe our revenue and business have historically been more significantly affected by the rate of growth in the number of consumers using the
Internet to research and purchase health insurance than by the rate at which the health insurance industry has grown. We expect that the rate of online adoption will continue to be a primary driver of our revenue.

Our commission revenue generally represents a percentage of the insurance premium a member has paid to his or her insurance carrier and, to a lesser
extent, commission override payments that insurance carriers pay us for achieving sales volume thresholds or other objectives. Commission rates vary by carrier and by the type of plan purchased by a member.

Commission rates also can vary based upon the amount of time that the policy has been active, with commission rates for individual and family policies
typically being higher in the first twelve months of the policy. After the first twelve months, commission rates generally decline significantly. As a result, if we do not add a sufficient number of members on new policies, our revenue growth may be
negatively impacted. Individuals, families and small businesses purchasing health insurance through us typically pay their premiums on a monthly basis. Insurance carriers typically pay us our commissions monthly, after they receive the premium
payment from the member. We generally continue to receive the commission payment from the relevant insurance carrier until the health insurance policy is cancelled or we otherwise do not remain the agent on the policy. As a result, the majority of
our revenue is recurring in nature and has grown in correlation with the growth we experience in our membership base.

We recognize
commission revenue when our commission is reported to us by a health insurance carrier, net of an allowance for future forfeiture amounts payable to carriers due to policy cancellations. Commissions are reported to us by a cash payment and
commission statement. We generally receive these communications simultaneously. In instances when we receive the cash payment and commission statement separately and in different accounting periods, we recognize revenue in the period that we
receive the earliest communication, provided we receive the second communication corroborating the amount reported in the first communication within ten business days. If the second corroborating communication is not received within ten business
days, we recognize revenue in the period the second communication is received. We use the data in the commission statement to identify the members for which we are receiving a commission payment and the amount received for each member, and to
estimate our allowance for forfeitures. Commission override payments, which are recognized on the same basis as premium commissions, are generally reported to us in a more irregular pattern than premium commissions. As a result, our revenue for a
particular quarter could be higher or lower than expectations due to the timing of the reporting of commission override payments.

Revenue
attributable to individual and family product offerings represented approximately 84% of our commission revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and represented approximately 87% of our commission revenue in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008. We define individual and family product offerings as major medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life and student
health insurance product offerings.

In addition to the commission revenue we derive from the sale of health insurance products, we derive
revenue from our online sponsorship advertising program and from licensing the use of our ecommerce technology. Our sponsorship advertising program allows carriers to purchase advertising space in specific markets in a sponsorship area on our
website. In return, we are typically paid a monthly fee, which is recognized over the period that advertising is displayed, and often a performance fee based on metrics such as submitted health insurance applications. Our technology licensing
business allows carriers the use of our ecommerce platform to offer their own health insurance policies on their websites and agents to utilize our technology to power their online quoting, content and application submission processes. Typically, we
are paid a one-time implementation fee, which we recognize on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the customer relationship (generally the initial term of the agreement), commencing once the technology is available for use by the third
party, and a performance fee based on metrics such as online quotes or submitted health insurance applications. The metrics used to calculate performance fees for both sponsorship advertising and technology licensing are based on performance
criteria that is either measured based on data that is tracked by us, or based on data that is tracked by the third party. In instances where the performance criteria data is tracked by us, we recognize revenue in the period of performance. In
instances where the performance criteria data is tracked by the third party, we recognize revenue when the amounts earned are both fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, this occurs through our receipt of a cash
payment from the third party along with a detailed statement containing the data that is tracked by the third party.

Member
Acquisition

An important factor in our revenue growth is the growth of our member base. Our marketing initiatives are an important
component of our strategy to grow our member base and are focused on three primary member acquisition channels: direct, marketing partners and online advertising. Our marketing initiatives are designed to attract consumers to complete an online
application for health insurance on our ecommerce platform.

Direct. Our direct member acquisition channel consists of
consumers who access our website addresses (www.ehealth.com and www.ehealthinsurance.com) either directly or through algorithmic search listings on Internet search engines and directories. Applications submitted through us for
individual and family health insurance from our direct channel constituted approximately 40% of all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and approximately
40% and 39% of all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Marketing Partners. Our marketing partner member acquisition channel consists of consumers
who access our website through a network of financial services and other companies. Growth in our marketing partner channel depends upon our expanding marketing programs with existing partners and adding new partners to our network. Applications
submitted through us for individual and family health insurance products for which we paid fees to our marketing partners constituted approximately 30% of all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007, and approximately 32% and 33% of all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Online Advertising. Our online advertising channel consists of consumers who access our website through paid keyword search advertising from
search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo!, as well as various Internet marketing programs such as banner advertising, email marketing and an integrated partnership with MSN. Applications submitted through us for individual and family health
insurance products from our online advertising channel constituted approximately 30% of all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and approximately 28% of
all individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating Costs
and Expenses

Cost of Revenue-Sharing

Cost of revenue-sharing consists primarily of payments related to health insurance policies sold to members who were referred to our website by marketing partners with whom we have revenue-sharing arrangements. In
order to enter into a revenue-sharing arrangement, these marketing partners must be licensed to sell health insurance in the state where the policy is sold. Costs related to revenue-sharing arrangements are expensed as the related revenue is
recognized.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising expenses consist primarily of member acquisition expenses associated with our direct, marketing partner and online advertising channels, in addition to compensation and other expenses related
to marketing, business development, public relations and carrier relations personnel who support our offerings. Our direct channel expenses primarily consist of television advertising, radio advertising, print advertising, direct mail, email and
other activities that drive consumers directly to our website.

We generally compensate our marketing partners by paying a one-time fee
each time a consumer referral from a partner results in a submitted health insurance application on our ecommerce platform, regardless of whether the consumers application is approved by the health insurance carrier. Many of our marketing
partners have tiered volume-incentive arrangements in which the amount of the one-time fee increases as the volume of submitted applications we receive from such marketing partners increases over a particular period. We recognize these expenditures
in the period when a marketing partners referral results in the submission of a health insurance application on our website. The number of health insurance applications submitted through our ecommerce platform has generally increased in our
first quarter compared to our fourth quarter and in our third quarter compared to our second quarter. Conversely, we have generally experienced a decline or flattening in submitted applications in our second quarter compared to our first quarter and
in our fourth quarter compared to our third quarter. Since a significant portion of our marketing and advertising expenses are driven by the number of health insurance applications submitted on our website, those expenses generally have increased or
decreased in conjunction with these patterns. In addition, because the total volume of submitted applications that we receive from our marketing partners is largely outside of our control, particularly during any short-term period, and because of
our tiered volume-incentive marketing partner arrangements, we could incur expenses in excess of the amounts we had planned in periods of rapid growth in the volume of submitted applications from marketing partner referrals. Accordingly, an
unanticipated increase in submitted applications resulting from marketing partner referrals could cause our net income to be lower than our expectation since the revenue to be derived from submitted applications that are approved by health insurance
carriers will not be recognized until future periods.

Paid keyword search advertising on search engines represents the majority of
expenses in our online advertising channel. We incur expenses associated with search engine advertising in the period in which the consumer clicks on the advertisement. We actively manage our paid keyword search advertising expense, taking into
account the anticipated return from referrals. We also take into account the productivity and relative cost of paid keyword search as compared to other marketing channels and the anticipated lifetime revenue from members acquired, to control the
amount of expense incurred during a given period.

We expect the average cost of acquiring new members to increase during the third and fourth quarters of
2008 compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 as a result of several factors, including an increase in online advertising and marketing expenditures, including paid keyword search advertising, an increase in television and radio
advertising expenditures, an increase in compensation and benefit costs as a result of an increase in marketing and advertising personnel and an increase in stock-based compensation costs from additional equity grants to marketing and advertising
employees. Other factors that may impact the average cost of acquiring new members include the mix of health insurance applications submitted through our three marketing channels, the mix of marketing partners referring consumers to our website, the
overall trend in costs of online marketing, seasonality patterns, the amounts we pay marketing partners to refer consumers to our website and fluctuations in the percentage of consumers referred to our website who submit health insurance
applications. Additionally, we may explore new marketing initiatives that increase per member acquisition costs as part of our efforts to drive more consumers to our website.

Due to the departure of an executive officer in May 2007 who was not replaced, we reorganized the responsibilities of certain personnel in the second
half of 2007. As a result, certain compensation, benefit and related expenses that were previously included in marketing and advertising and customer care and enrollment on our condensed consolidated statements of income were allocated to other
functions starting in the second half of 2007 continuing through June 30, 2008. The net impact of the reorganization was to include an immaterial amount of compensation, benefit and related expense in our technology and content and general and
administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, that would have remained as either marketing and advertising or customer care and enrollment expenses had the responsibilities of these personnel not changed.

Customer Care and Enrollment

Customer care and enrollment expenses primarily consist of compensation and related expenses for personnel engaged in pre-sales assistance to applicants who call our customer care center and enrollment personnel who
assist applicants during the underwriting process.

Technology and Content

Technology and content expenses consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for personnel associated with developing and enhancing our website
technology as well as maintaining our website. A portion of our technology and content group is located at our wholly owned subsidiary in China, where technology development costs are generally lower than in the United States.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include compensation and related expenses for staff working in our finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, facilities and internal information technology departments. These expenses also include
fees paid for outside professional services, mainly for audit, tax, legal and information technology consulting.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

IFP applications submitted on eHealths website during the period. Applications are counted as submitted when the applicant completes the application, provides a method for payment and
clicks the submit button on our website and submits the application to us. The applicant generally has additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as providing additional information and
providing an electronic signature. In addition, an applicant may submit more than one application. We include applications for IFP products for which we receive commissions as well as other forms of payment. We define our IFP offerings
as major medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life or student health insurance product offerings.

The number of individual and family health insurance applications submitted on our website
increased approximately 18% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. This rate of growth was less than we expected and is lower than the year-over-year growth we experienced in our
second quarter of 2007 and in the first quarter of 2008. We believe that the negative influences of the economic environment that persisted during the second quarter of 2008 were a major factor contributing to the decline in our individual and
family health insurance application growth during that period. Our online advertising channel was most affected, where we observed slower year-over-year growth in the number of individuals coming to our ecommerce platform through that channel.

Beginning in the second half of 2007, we believe that in general our health insurance carrier partners have utilized more stringent
underwriting criteria and practices, which impacts the rate at which health insurance applications submitted through us are approved. However, we realized an improvement in the rate at which submitted applications are converted into members in the
second quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2008 as a result of a favorable change in the percentage of applications submitted through our direct member acquisition channel and due to other improvements in various areas where we can
impact the rate at which submitted applications are converted into members.

Our insurance carrier partners bill and collect insurance
premiums paid by our members. Carrier partners do not report to us the number of members that we have as of a given date. The majority of our members who terminate their policies do so by discontinuing their premium payments to the carrier and
do not inform us of the cancellation. Also, some of our members pay their premiums less frequently than monthly. Given the number of months required to observe non-payment of commissions in order to confirm cancellations, we estimate the number
of members who are active on insurance policies as of a specified date. We estimate the number of continuing members on non-small business insurance policies as of a specific date by taking the sum of (i) the number of members for whom we have
received a commission payment for the month that is six months (or three months in the case of short-term, student and dental insurance) prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member
cancellations over the three-month or six-month

period); and (ii) the number of approved members over the six-month period (or three months in the case of short-term, student and dental insurance)
prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not accept their approved policy and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). We estimate
the number of small business group members using the number of initial members at the time the group is approved, and we update this number for changes in membership if such changes are reported to us by the group or carrier in the period it is
reported. However, groups generally notify the carrier directly of policy cancellations and increases or decreases in group size without informing us. Additionally, our carrier partners often do not communicate this information to us. We often are
made aware of policy cancellations at the time of annual renewal and update our membership statistics accordingly in the period they are reported.

After we have estimated membership for a period, we may receive information from health insurance carriers that would have impacted the estimate if we had received the information prior to the date of estimation. We may receive commission
payments or other information that indicates that a member who was not included in our estimates for a prior period was in fact an active member at that time, or that a member who was included in our estimates was in fact not an active member of
ours. For instance, we reconcile information carriers provide to us and may determine that we were not historically paid commissions owed to us, which would cause us to have underestimated our membership. Additionally, carriers may require us to
return commission payments paid in a prior period due to policy cancellations for members we previously estimated as being active. We reflect updated information regarding our membership in the membership estimate for the current period that we are
estimating, if applicable. As a result of the delay in our receipt of information from insurance carriers, actual trends in our membership are most discernable over periods longer than from one quarter to the next. In addition, and as a result of
the delay we experience in receiving information about our membership, it is difficult for us to determine with any certainty the impact of current economic conditions on our membership retention. Based on information that we now possess, we
experienced a slight increase in member turnover in the fourth quarter of 2007. At this time, however, we do not have enough information to determine whether current economic conditions are impacting turnover in our membership base.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The
discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the useful lives of long-lived assets including property and equipment, fair value of investments, fair value of intangible assets, allowances for commission forfeitures payable to
carriers, income taxes and the assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation and our assessment whether internal use software and website development costs will result in additional functionality, among others. We based our estimates of
the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases,
changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We
recognize commission revenue when our commission is reported to us by a health insurance carrier, net of an allowance for future forfeiture amounts payable to carriers due to policy cancellations. Commissions are reported to us by a cash payment and
commission statement. We use the data in the commission statements to help identify the members for which we are receiving a commission payment and the amount received for each member, and to estimate our allowance for forfeitures payable to
carriers. We are not obligated with respect to the insurance coverage sold through our ecommerce platform. As a result, we recognize the net amount of compensation earned as the agent in the transaction.

Our insurance carrier partners bill and collect insurance premiums that our members pay. We rely on health insurance carriers to report accurately and in
a timely manner the amount of commissions earned by us, and we calculate our commission revenues, prepare our financial reports, projections and budgets, and direct our marketing and other operating efforts based on the reports we receive from them.
Each month we analyze the reports we receive from our carriers by comparing such data to the database we maintain on our members. It is often difficult for us to independently determine whether or not carriers are reporting all commissions due to
us, primarily because the majority of our members who terminate their policies do so by discontinuing their premium payments to the carrier instead of by informing us of the

cancellation. Also, some of our members pay their premiums less frequently than monthly. This results in our having to identify underpayment or non-payment
of commissions on a policy and follow up with a carrier to obtain an explanation and/or request correction of the amount of commissions paid to us. To date, we have not had disputes of any significance with our carriers related to reported
commissions. To the extent that carriers understate or fail to timely and accurately report the amount of commissions due to us, we will not collect and recognize revenue to which we are entitled, which, if material in amount, would adversely affect
our operating results and financial condition.

Commission override revenue, which we recognize on the same basis as premium commissions,
is generally reported to us in a more irregular pattern than premium commissions. As a result, our revenues for a particular quarter could be higher or lower than expectations due to the timing of the reporting of commission override revenue to us.

Certain commission amounts are subject to forfeiture in circumstances where a member has prepaid his or her premium for a future period of
coverage and subsequently cancels his or her policy before the completion of that period. We estimate and record an allowance for these forfeitures based on historical cancellation experience using data provided on commission statements. The
forfeitures are typically reported to us by health insurance carriers one to two months after the commission is reported and paid to us by the carrier. Our estimate of the allowance for forfeitures includes an estimate of both the reporting time lag
and the forfeiture amount. Changes in our historical trends would result in changes to our estimated forfeitures in future periods. There were no changes in our average forfeiture rates or reporting time lag during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2008, which had a material impact on our allowance for forfeitures.

In addition to the commission revenue we derive
from the sale of health insurance products, we derive revenue from our online sponsorship advertising program and from licensing the use of our ecommerce technology. Our sponsorship advertising program allows carriers to purchase advertising space
in specific markets in a sponsorship area on our website. In return, we are typically paid a monthly fee, which is recognized over the period that advertising is displayed, and often a performance fee based on metrics such as submitted health
insurance applications. Our technology licensing business allows carriers the use of our ecommerce platform to offer their own health insurance policies on their websites and agents to utilize our technology to power their online quoting, content
and application submission processes. Typically, we are paid a one-time implementation fee, which we recognize on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the customer relationship (generally the initial term of the agreement), commencing
once the technology is available for use by the third party, and a performance fee based on metrics such as online quotes or submitted health insurance applications. The metrics used to calculate performance fees for both sponsorship advertising and
technology licensing are based on performance criteria that is either measured based on data that is tracked by us, or based on data that is tracked by the third party. In instances where the performance criteria data is tracked by us, we recognize
revenue in the period of performance. In instances where the performance criteria data is tracked by the third party, we recognize revenue when the amounts earned are both fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, this
occurs through our receipt of a cash payment from the third party along with a detailed statement containing the data that is tracked by the third party.

Deferred revenue consists of deferred technology licensing implementation fees as well as amounts collected from sponsorship or technology licensing customers in advance of our performing our service for such
customers. We also defer amounts that have been reported to us related to transactions where our services are complete, but where we cannot currently estimate the allowance for future forfeitures related to those amounts.

Internal-Use Software and Website Development Costs

We account for internal-use software and website development costs in accordance with the guidance set forth in Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use, and EITF Issue No. 0002, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. We capitalize costs of materials, consultants and compensation and related expenses of employees who devote time to the development
of internal-use software; however, we usually expense as incurred website development costs for new features and functionalities because it is not probable that they will result in additional functionality until they are both developed and tested
with confirmation that they are more effective than the current set of features and functionalities on our website. Our judgment is required in determining the point at which various projects enter the states at which costs may be capitalized, in
assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, which is generally three years. To the extent that we change the manner in which we develop and test new features
and functionalities related to our website, assess the ongoing value of capitalized assets or determine the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, the amount of website development costs we capitalize and amortize in future
periods would be impacted.

We account for stock-based compensation expense pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123R (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment,
which requires that all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as an expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income based on their fair value over the vesting
period, which is generally four years. The grant date fair value of our stock-based awards was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model and a single option award approach. The weighted-average expected term for stock options granted
was calculated using the simplified method in accordance with the provisions of SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, as we did not have sufficient historical option exercise behavior on which to estimate expected terms. The simplified
method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period of the stock option. We have estimated the volatility used as an input to the model based on an analysis of our stock price since our initial public
offering in October 2006, as well as an analysis of similar public companies for which we have data. We estimate our expected volatility using the weighted-average of: our implied volatility; our mean reversion volatility; and the mean reversion
volatility of similar public companies for which we have data. We have used judgment in selecting these companies, as well as evaluating the available historical and implied volatility data for these companies. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected term
and volatility related to our own stock-based awards on a prospective basis, and incorporating these factors into the model. Changes in key assumptions will significantly impact the valuation of such instruments.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense totaling $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively, and $1.0 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, related to stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted to employees. Future stock-based
compensation expense is dependent upon the fair value of each option at the date each option is granted and the number of awards issued and outstanding during each period. We expect stock-based compensation expense will increase in the future as the
number of equity awards issued and outstanding increases.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the liability method as required by SFAS No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under
SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse.

Since tax laws and financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity,
revenues, expenses, gains and losses, differences arise between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year and between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in our financial statements. Because we
assume that the reported amounts of assets and liabilities will be recovered and settled, respectively, a difference between the tax basis of an asset or a liability and its reported amount in the balance sheet will result in a taxable or a
deductible amount in some future years when the related liabilities are settled or the reported amounts of the assets are recovered, which gives rise to a deferred tax asset or liability. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax
assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery does not meet the more likely than not criteria, we must establish a valuation allowance.

Management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we
were able to develop expectations of future taxable income and estimate other relevant factors sufficiently in the future to conclude that it was more likely than not that we will realize sufficient earnings to utilize all of our deferred tax
assets. Accordingly, we reversed our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2007.

As part of the process
of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences that may result in deferred tax
assets. Our effective tax rates in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 were in line with statutory federal and state tax rates in those periods. Due to the large amount of remaining net operating loss credit carryforwards
available at December 31, 2007, we expect to pay federal and state taxes in 2008 on a cash basis at or below the alternative minimum tax rate, which is approximately 3%. Future changes in various factors, such as the amount of stock-based
compensation we record during the year and the related tax benefit we realize upon the exercise of employee stock options, potential limitations on the use of our federal and state net operating loss credit carryforwards, pending or future tax law
changes including rate changes and the tax benefit from research and development credits and state and foreign taxes, would impact our estimates, and as a result, could affect our effective tax rate and the amount of income tax expense we record,
and pay, in future periods.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, we had approximately $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax
benefits. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, there were $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Due to net operating losses, all tax years after 1998 are open to
examination and adjustment.

Fair Value Measurements

We implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurement, effective January 1,
2008 for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with
the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, we have elected to defer until January 1, 2009, implementation of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted
accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. SFAS 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value of our assets, and
as such, use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. We have determined that our financial assets are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Total revenue increased $6.4
million, or 31%, in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in commission revenue as a result of an aggregate increase in our membership, as well as an increase in
commission overrides earned by us. Our estimated membership increased approximately 25% to 579,600 at June 30, 2008 from 463,600 at June 30, 2007. Sponsorship, licensing and other revenue increased $1.5 million, or 116%, in the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the sale of additional carrier sponsorship advertising on our website and new licensing arrangements related to our technology. In addition,
sponsorship, licensing and other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included the recognition of $0.5 million of revenue relating to a one-time, non-recurring item.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Total revenue increased $13.2 million, or 33%, in the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in commission revenue as a result of an aggregate increase in our membership, as well as an increase in commission overrides earned by us. Sponsorship, licensing and
other revenue increased $2.5 million, or 105%, in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the sale of additional carrier sponsorship advertising on our website and new licensing
arrangements related to our technology. In addition, sponsorship, licensing and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included the recognition of $0.5 million of revenue relating to a one-time, non-recurring item.

Revenue for all periods presented was generated from customers located solely in the United States. The

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Cost of revenue-sharing
increased 8% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in the number of health insurance policies sold to members who were referred to our website by marketing
partners with whom we have revenue-sharing arrangements. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue-sharing remained consistent at 2% in both three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Cost of revenue-sharing increased 6% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in the number of health insurance policies sold to members who were referred to our website by marketing partners with whom we have revenue-sharing arrangements. As a percentage
of total revenue, cost of revenue-sharing remained consistent at 2% in both six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.

Based on
information currently available to us, we expect our cost of revenue-sharing to increase in absolute dollars in the second half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008 as a result of an increase in commission revenue related to health insurance
policies sold to members who were referred to our website by marketing partners with whom we have revenue-sharing arrangements.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Marketing and advertising
expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 40%, in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. This was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in online advertising expenses from an increase in paid
keyword search advertising costs on Internet search engines associated with an increase in both the volume and cost of click-throughs from the online advertising channel, and a $0.3 million increase in television advertising expenses. Marketing
partner expenses increased $0.9 million primarily due to the growth in the number of applications submitted on our website through the marketing partner channel during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2007. Our acquisition cost per member, if measured as total marketing and advertising expenses for a period divided by the number of individuals included on applications for individual and family product offerings submitted during the
period, increased 21% to $60.39 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $49.98 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the increases in online advertising and marketing partner channel expenses. As a percentage of
total revenue, total marketing and advertising expenses increased to 34% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 32% in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Marketing and advertising expenses increased by $5.4 million, or 40%, in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This was primarily due to an increase in online advertising expenses of $2.7 million and an increase in television advertising expenses of $0.4 million. Marketing partner
expenses increased $2.1 million primarily due to the growth in the number of applications submitted on our website through the marketing partner channel during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2007. As a percentage of total revenue, total marketing and advertising expenses increased to 35% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 34% in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to increase in absolute dollars, as well as a percentage of total revenue, in the second half of 2008
compared to the first half of 2008 as a result of several factors, including an increase in online advertising and marketing expenditures, including paid keyword search advertising, an increase in television and radio advertising expenditures, an
increase in compensation and benefit costs as a result of an increase in marketing and advertising personnel and an increase in stock-based compensation costs from additional equity grants to marketing and advertising employees. Other factors that
may impact our marketing and advertising expenses and the average cost of acquiring new members include the mix of health insurance applications submitted through our three marketing channels, the mix of marketing partners referring consumers to our
website, the overall trend in costs of online marketing, seasonality patterns, the amounts we pay marketing partners to refer consumers to our website and fluctuations in the percentage of consumers referred to our website who submit health
insurance applications. Additionally, we may explore new marketing initiatives that increase per member acquisition costs as part of our efforts to drive more consumers to our website.

increased by $1.1 million, or 18%, in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit costs associated with an increase in personnel servicing

We expect customer care and
enrollment expenses to increase in absolute dollars, as well as a percentage of total revenue, in the second half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008 as we hire additional personnel to service the growth in health insurance applications
submitted through our website.

increased by $0.6 million, or 20%, in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in data center costs associated with maintaining and repairing our computer hardware
and software. As a percentage of total revenue, technology and content costs decreased to 13% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 14% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of economies of scale achieved by
our technology and content operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Technology and content expenses
increased by $1.1 million, or 18%, in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in data center costs associated with maintaining and repairing our computer hardware and
software. As a percentage of total revenue, technology and content costs decreased to 13% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 15% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of economies of scale achieved by our
technology and content operations.

Although we expect our technology and content expenses to remain at a similar level in the second half
of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008 on a percentage of total revenue basis, we expect technology and content expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the second half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008 due to our continued focus on
technology development, including the enhancement of our ecommerce platform.

General and Administrative

The following table presents our general and administrative expenses and the absolute dollar and percentage change from the comparable prior year periods
(dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007General and administrative expenses
increased by $0.4 million, or 11%, in the three months June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit costs of $0.3 million associated with increased personnel in our
finance and legal departments and an increase in stock-based compensation costs of $0.3 million related to additional equity grants to our general and administrative employees. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $0.2 million in
accounting and professional fees. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 19% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of
economies of scale achieved by our general and administrative operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and
2007General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 18%, in the six months June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit costs of $0.9
million associated with increased personnel in our finance and legal departments and an increase in stock-based compensation costs of $0.5 million related to additional equity grants to our general and administrative employees. As a percentage of
total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of economies of scale achieved by our general and administrative
operations.

Although we expect our general and administrative expenses to remain at a similar level in the second half of 2008 compared to
the first half of 2008 on a percentage of total revenue basis, we expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars in the second half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008 due to the increased costs
necessary to support the growth in our business.

Interest and Other Income, Net

The following table presents our interest and other income, net, and the absolute dollar and percentage change from the comparable prior year periods
(dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007Interest and other income, net, decreased 26% and 12% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to declines in the average yield earned on our invested cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities increased from $102.8 million at June 30, 2007 to $136.0 million at June 30, 2008 primarily from cash generated from operations and net proceeds from the exercise of common stock options.

We expect interest and other income, net, to decline in absolute dollars, as well as a percentage of total revenue, in the second half of 2008
compared to the first half of 2008 as a result of a continued decline in the average yield we earn on our invested cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 43%. Due to the large amount of remaining net operating loss credit
carryforwards available at December 31, 2007, we expect to pay federal and state taxes in 2008 on a cash basis at or below the alternative minimum tax rate, which is approximately 3%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we
recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 41%. Our deferred tax assets were reduced during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
December 31, 2007 due to the utilization of net operating losses against taxable income in those periods.

Our future effective income
tax rate will depend on various factors, such as the amount of stock-based compensation we record during the year and the related tax benefit we realize upon the exercise of employee stock options, potential limitations on the use of our federal and
state net operating loss credit carryforwards, pending or future tax law changes including rate changes and the tax benefit from research and development credits, changes in our valuation allowance and state and foreign taxes.

At June 30, 2008, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $136.0
million. Cash equivalents are comprised primarily of highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase, and marketable securities are comprised primarily of highly liquid available-for-sale
financial instruments with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than two years from the date of purchase. Marketable securities that are available for use in current operations are classified as current assets in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets regardless of the remaining time to maturity.

We anticipate a capital expenditure project in the
second half of 2008 relating to the expansion of our data center operations. Currently, we expect our full year capital expenditures to be in the $3 million to $4 million range.

Operating Activities

Cash
provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items including deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in working capital and other
activities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008Our operating activities generated cash of $14.5 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to $7.5 million of net income, $5.5 million of deferred income tax, $1.7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, $0.8 million in non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses and a $0.4
million increase in accounts payable. These items were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in accrued compensation and benefits primarily due to timing of compensation and benefit payments and a $0.4 million decrease in other current
liabilities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007Our operating activities generated cash of $10.6
million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to $5.5 million of net income, $3.6 million of deferred income tax, $0.9 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based
compensation expense and a $0.5 million increase in accrued marketing expenses primarily due to an increase in online advertising channel expenditures. These items were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in accrued compensation and
benefits.

The timing of the recognition of our commission revenue depends upon the timing of our receipt of commission reports and
associated commission payments from health insurance carriers. If we were to experience a delay in receiving a commission payment from a health insurance carrier at the end of a quarter, our operating cash flows for that quarter could be negatively
impacted. Additionally, commission override payments are reported to us in a more irregular pattern than premium commissions. For example, a carrier may make a commission override payment to us on an annual basis, which would positively impact our
cash flows in the quarter the payment is received. The majority of our annual commission override payments are typically received during the first quarter of the year.

Historically, we have experienced a reduction in operating cash flows during the first quarter of the year due to the payment of annual performance bonuses to employees. In addition, a significant portion of our
marketing and advertising expenses are driven by the number of health insurance applications submitted on our ecommerce platform. Since our marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and the revenue from approved applications is
recognized as commissions are subsequently reported to us, our operating cash flows could be negatively impacted by a substantial increase in the volume of applications submitted during a quarter or positively impacted by a substantial decline in
the volume of applications submitted during a quarter.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities primarily consist of purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities and capital expenditures for property and
equipment associated with computer hardware and software to enhance our website and to support our growth. Marketable securities generally consist of highly liquid, investment grade corporate and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities,
commercial paper and certificates of deposit that have a maturity of more than 90 days but less than two years from the date of purchase and are available for use in current operations. These investments are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of stockholders equity. We did not realize any material gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008Net cash used by investing activities of $12.1 million during the six months ended June 30,
2008 was primarily attributable to purchases of short-term marketable securities of $50.4 million and capital expenditures of $1.3 million, partially offset by maturities and sales of short-term marketable securities of $31.6 million and $8.1
million, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007Net cash used in investing activities of $18.0 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was due to $17.3 million used for the purchase of short-term marketable securities and $0.8 million used for the purchase of capital equipment.

Financing Activities

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008Cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was due to net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock
option exercises.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2007 was due to $2.9 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock option exercises, partially offset by $0.3 million of costs paid during the six months ended June 30,
2007 which had been incurred in connection with our initial public offering.

We believe that cash generated from operations and our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including our level of investment in technology and advertising initiatives. Although we are currently not a party to any agreement with respect to investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary
businesses, products or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. We currently do not have any bank debt, line of credit facilities or other
borrowing arrangements. To the extent that available funds are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional capital through public or private equity or debt financing.

Operating Lease Obligations

We lease certain of our office, operating facilities, equipment and furniture and fixtures under various operating leases, the latest of which expires in
December 2012. Certain of these leases have free or escalating rent payment provisions. We recognize rent expense on our operating leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, although actual cash payment obligations under certain
of these agreements fluctuate over the terms of the agreements.

Service and Licensing Obligations

We have entered into service and licensing agreements with third-party vendors to provide various services, including website development, website
hosting, network access and software licensing. The terms of these services and licensing agreements are generally up to three years, the latest of which expires in September 2010. We record the related service and licensing expenses on a
straight-line basis, although actual cash payment obligations under certain of these agreements fluctuate over the terms of the agreements.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings
or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for recent accounting pronouncements that could have an effect on us.

As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $85.2 million, which
consisted primarily of cash and highly liquid money market instruments and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase. We also had marketable securities of $50.8 million, which consisted primarily of
highly liquid corporate and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than two years from the date of purchase and are available for use
in current operations. Marketable securities that are available for use in current operations are classified as current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets regardless of the remaining time to maturity.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the
securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we intend to maintain our portfolio of highly
liquid cash equivalents and marketable securities in a variety of instruments, including money market funds, commercial paper, corporate and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities and certificates of deposit. We do not use financial
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. Our investment policy limits investments to certain types of securities issued by institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places
restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issue. The policy also prohibits investing in certain types of instruments including asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized bond, debt and mortgage obligations,
tax exempt securities, auction rate securities and derivatives. If overall interest rates had fallen by 10% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, our interest income would have declined approximately $0.1 million and $0.2
million, respectively, assuming a consistent level in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

To date, all of our revenue has been derived from transactions denominated in United States Dollars. We have exposure to adverse changes in
exchange rates associated with operating expenses of our foreign operations, which are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi. Foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material impact historically on our results of operations, however, there can
be no assurance that future fluctuations will not have material adverse effects on our results of operations. We have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging or other derivative transactions to date.

Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that
are exposed to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. We deposit our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in accounts with major banks and financial
institutions and, at times such marketable securities may be in excess of federally insured limits.

We do not require collateral or other
security for our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2008, one carrier represented $0.2 million, or 14%, of our total accounts receivable. We believe the potential for collection issues with any of our carriers is minimal. Accordingly, we have
not recorded an allowance for uncollectible amounts at June 30, 2008.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Our Disclosure
Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Based on managements evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose
in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all fraud. A control system, no matter
how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of
the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

In the ordinary course of our
business, we have received and may continue to receive inquiries from state regulators relating to various matters. We have become, and may in the future become, involved in litigation in the ordinary course of our business.

In addition to other information
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our
business, operating results and financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Because of the following
factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in
future periods.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate and could fall short of expectations.

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including the factors described elsewhere in this Risk Factors section, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our
operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. If our revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities
analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.

Our business model is characterized primarily by recurring revenue
based on commissions we receive from insurance carriers whose policies are purchased by our members. Although our services are complete upon the approval of a members application, we receive commissions and record related revenue, typically on
a monthly basis, until the health insurance policy is cancelled or we otherwise do not remain the agent on the policy. A significant component of our marketing and advertising expenses consists of payments owed to our marketing partners in
connection with applications submitted on our ecommerce platform by potential members referred to us by our marketing partners. As a result of this timing difference between expense and associated revenue recognition, our operating results and cash
flows may be adversely affected in periods where we experience a significant increase in new applicants. In addition, if we incur other unanticipated or one-time expenses in a particular quarter or if we lose a significant amount of our member base
for any reason, we would likely be unable to offset these expenses by increasing sales within that quarter or to replace lost revenue in the quarter with revenue from new members. As a result, our quarterly results may suffer due to unanticipated
expenses, one-time charges or significant member turnover.

Our rate of growth may decline.

We have a history of net losses and only achieved net profitability on an annual basis beginning in 2006. As of June 30, 2008, our accumulated
deficit was $24.6 million. We may in the future make significant expenditures related to the development of our business, including expenditures relating to marketing, website and technology development and hiring of additional personnel. In
addition, we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company. Although we have experienced revenue growth in prior periods, this growth may not be sustainable, and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to
maintain profitability. Our future revenue growth will depend in large part upon our ability to continue to attract new individuals, families and small businesses to purchase health insurance through our ecommerce platform and to maintain our
relationship with existing members within historical levels. We may not be able to maintain or exceed our historical membership growth rates, and to the extent that the rate of growth of our net new members slows (after accounting for member
turnover), our revenue growth is also likely to slow. The commission rates that we receive for individuals and families are typically higher in the first twelve months of a policy. After the first twelve months, they generally decline significantly.
Accordingly, to the extent that the rate of growth of our net new members slows, our revenue growth would slow due to a decline in commissions we receive for members whose policies have been active for more than twelve months in addition to the
reduction in revenue growth that would occur solely as a result of a decline in our membership growth rate.

The commission rates we
receive are impacted by a variety of factors, including the particular health insurance policies chosen by our members, the carriers offering those policies, the location of members and the laws and regulations in that jurisdiction and the amount of
time policies have been active. Our commission rate per member could decrease as a result of either reductions in contractual commission rates or unfavorable changes in health insurance carrier override commission programs, each of which may be
beyond our control and may occur on short notice. To the extent these factors cause our commission rate per member to decline, our rate of growth may decline.

If the purchase of health insurance over the Internet does not achieve and maintain widespread
consumer and health insurance carrier acceptance, or if consumers or carriers opt for more traditional or alternative channels for the purchase and sale of health insurance, our business will be harmed.

Our success depends in part upon widespread consumer and health insurance carrier acceptance of the Internet as a marketplace for the purchase and sale
of health insurance. Consumers and health insurance carriers may choose to depend more on traditional sources, such as individual agents, or alternative sources may develop. Our future growth, if any, will depend in part upon:



the growth of the Internet as a commerce medium generally, and as a market for consumer financial products and services specifically;



consumers willingness to conduct their own health insurance research;



our ability to make the process of purchasing health insurance online an attractive alternative to traditional means of purchasing health insurance;



our ability to successfully and cost-effectively market our services as superior to traditional or alternative sources for health insurance to a sufficiently large
number of consumers; and



health insurance carriers willingness to use us and the Internet as a distribution channel for health insurance products.

If consumers and health insurance carriers do not widely adopt the Internet as a source for the purchase and sale of health insurance, or if they
determine that other sources for health insurance and health insurance applications are superior, our business will not grow and our operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

Our business may not grow if consumers are not informed about the availability and accessibility of affordable health insurance.

Numerous health insurance products are available to consumers in any given market. Most of these products vary by price, benefits
and other policy features. Health insurance terminology and provisions are often confusing and difficult to understand. As a result, researching, selecting and purchasing health insurance can be a complex process. We believe that this complexity has
contributed to a perception held by many consumers that individual health insurance is prohibitively expensive and difficult to obtain. We attempt to make the health insurance research and application process on our website understandable and
user-friendly. We also attempt to use our website and other means to educate consumers about the accessibility and affordability of health insurance. If consumers are not informed about the availability and accessibility of affordable health
insurance or our application process is difficult to navigate, our business may not grow and our operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

If we are unable to retain our members, our business and operating results would be harmed.

We receive revenue from commissions health insurance carriers pay to us for health insurance policies sold through our ecommerce platform. When one of these policies is cancelled, or if we otherwise do not remain the agent on the policy, we
no longer receive the related commission revenue. Individuals, families and small businesses may choose to discontinue their health insurance policies for a variety of reasons. For example, individuals and families may replace a health insurance
policy purchased through us with a health insurance policy provided by a new or existing employer or may determine that they cannot afford health insurance. In addition, our members may choose to transfer their policies to a different agent if, for
example, they are not satisfied with our customer service or the health insurance products that we offer. Health insurance carriers may also terminate health insurance plans purchased and held by our members. If we are not successful in transferring
members covered under a terminated plan to another policy that we offer, we will lose these members. Our cost in acquiring a new member is substantially greater than the cost involved in maintaining our relationship with an existing member. If we
are not able to successfully retain existing members and limit member turnover, our revenue and operating margins will be adversely impacted and our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

Our business may be harmed if we lose our relationships with health insurance carriers, become
dependent upon a limited number of insurance carriers, fail to develop new carrier relationships, or if our carrier partners experience negative publicity.

We typically enter into contractual agency relationships with health insurance carriers that are non-exclusive and terminable on short notice by either party for any reason. Carriers may be unwilling to allow us to
sell their existing or new health insurance products for a variety of reasons, including for competitive or regulatory reasons, as a result of a reluctance to distribute their products over the Internet or because they do not want to be associated
with our brand. For example, one carrier terminated its relationship with us with respect to the policies it offers in a particular state because the carrier decided to sell those policies through agents that exclusively offered that particular
carriers products. In the future, an increasing number of carriers may decide to rely on their own internal distribution channels, including traditional in-house agents and carrier websites, to sell their own products and, in turn, could limit
or prohibit us from selling their products on our ecommerce platform. For instance, carriers may choose to exclude us from their most profitable or popular products or may determine not to distribute insurance products in the individual, family and
small business markets altogether.

We may decide to terminate our relationship with a carrier for a number of reasons, including as a
result of a reduction in a carriers financial ratings, a carrier determining to pay lower commissions or a carrier demanding a sales process that we believe compromises or impairs the value of our service. The termination of our relationship
with a carrier could reduce the variety of health insurance products we offer, which could harm our business. We also would lose a source of commissions for future sales and, in a limited number of cases, future commissions for past sales. Our
business could also be harmed if in the future we fail to develop new carrier relationships and are unable to offer consumers a wide variety of health insurance products.

The health insurance industry in the United States has experienced a substantial amount of consolidation over the past several years, resulting in a decrease in the number of health insurance carriers. In the future,
we may be forced to offer insurance policies from a reduced number of insurance carriers or to derive a greater portion of our revenue from a more concentrated number of carriers as our business and the health insurance industry evolve. We derived
20% and 17% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively, from carriers owned by UnitedHealthcare. We derived 18% and 16% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008,
respectively, from carriers owned by Wellpoint. We derived 11% and 13% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively, from Aetna. Our agreements with these carriers are terminable on short notice by either
party for any reason. Notwithstanding our separate agreements with various carriers directly or indirectly owned by the same entity, certain carriers have attempted and may continue to attempt to consolidate our relationship with them, which could
increase the impact of carrier concentration on us, decrease the commission rates we receive and adversely affect our financial results. Should our dependence on fewer carrier relationships increase (whether as a result of the termination of carrier
relationships, further carrier consolidation or otherwise), we may become more vulnerable to adverse changes in our relationships with our carriers, particularly in states where we offer health insurance from a relatively smaller number of carriers
or where a small number of carriers dominates the market, and our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

From time to time, health insurance carriers may experience negative publicity as a result of consumer perception of, and reaction to, certain underwriting practices, news events or other matters. For example, health insurance carriers in
California are experiencing negative publicity relating to allegations of violations of Californias post-claims underwriting regulations. Negative publicity experienced by our carrier partners may in turn adversely affect us, even
if we are not involved, due to our business relationship with the carriers. If it does, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

Changes in the quality and affordability of the health insurance products that carriers offer on our ecommerce platform could harm our business and operating results.

The demand for health insurance marketed through our ecommerce platform is impacted by, among other things, the variety, quality and price of the health
insurance products we offer. If health insurance carriers do not continue to provide us with a variety of high-quality, affordable health insurance products in the individual, family and small business markets, or if their offerings are limited as a
result of consolidation in the health insurance industry or otherwise, our sales may decrease and our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

Health insurance carriers could determine to reduce the commissions paid to us or to change their
underwriting practices in ways that reduce the number of insurance policies sold through our ecommerce platform, which could harm our business and operating results.

Our commission rates, and the commission override payments we receive from health insurance carriers for achieving sales volume thresholds or other
objectives, are either set by each carrier or negotiated between us and each carrier. Carriers have altered, and may in the future alter, the contractual relationships we have with them, either by renegotiation or unilateral action. If these
contractual changes result in reduced commissions, our business may suffer and our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, carriers periodically change the criteria they use for determining whether they are willing to
insure individuals as well as other underwriting practices. Beginning in the second half of 2007, we believe that carriers have been applying more stringent underwriting criteria and practices to applications for health insurance and that this
condition persisted in our quarter ended June 30, 2008. Changes such as these have in the past resulted in a decrease in the number of insurance policies submitted through our ecommerce platform that are approved. Changes in carrier
underwriting criteria or practices could negatively impact sales of insurance policies on our ecommerce platform and could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business and operating results will be harmed.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand identity is critical to our relationships with existing members, marketing partners and health
insurance carriers and to our ability to attract new members, marketing partners and carriers. We are testing the use of television and radio advertisements as a means to enhance our brand. The promotion of our brand in these and other ways may
require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these branding initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Our brand promotion activities may not be successful or
yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow and we could
lose marketing partners and members, which could, in turn, cause health insurance carriers to terminate their relationships with us, all of which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are not successful in cost-effectively converting visitors to our website into members, our business and operating results would be harmed.

Our growth depends in part upon growth in our membership. The rate at which consumers visiting our ecommerce platform and seeking
to purchase health insurance are converted into members is a significant factor in the growth of our membership. A number of factors could influence this conversion rate for any given period, some of which are outside of our control. These factors
include:



the quality of and changes to, the consumer experience on our ecommerce platform and with our customer care center;



the variety and affordability of the health insurance products that we offer;



system failures or interruptions in the operation of our ecommerce platform or call center operations;



changes in the mix of consumers who are referred to us through our direct, marketing partner and online advertising member acquisition channels;



the number, type and identity of the health insurance carriers offering the health insurance products for which consumers have expressed interest, and the degree to
which our technology is integrated with those carriers;



the health insurance carrier underwriting practices and guidelines applicable to applications submitted by consumers and the amount of time a carrier takes to make
a decision on that application; and



competitive offerings.

In the event
the rate at which we convert consumers visiting our ecommerce platform into members does not continue at historical levels or declines, our membership growth rate may decline, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
For example, our year-over-year growth rate for approved members from all products declined from 32% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to 16% in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decline was due to various factors, including
an increase in the prior-year base used to compute the amount of growth in making the comparison, a decline in the growth rate of submitted health insurance applications and a decline in the rate at which submitted health insurance applications that
were sent to our carriers were approved by our carrier partners. Our conversion rates can be impacted by changes in the mix of consumers referred to us through our member acquisition channels. For example, our conversion rates have historically been
lower with respect to consumers referred to us by Internet lead aggregators and relatively higher with respect to consumers coming to us through our direct member acquisition channel. In addition, we may make changes to our ecommerce platform or
undertake other initiatives in an attempt to improve consumer experience or for other reasons. These changes have in the past, and may in the future, have the unintended consequence of adversely impacting our conversion rates. A decline in the
percentage of consumers who submit health insurance applications on our ecommerce platform could cause an increase in our cost of acquiring members as a result of increased costs on a per member basis.

In the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first and second quarters of 2008, we increased our advertising
spending in the performance partner and online advertising channels to accelerate application growth and began using traditional media to raise awareness and demand for eHealth. We expect to continue these efforts and as a result, our overall cost
of acquisition and our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue are expected to continue to increase during the second half of 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. There can be no assurance that any of
the planned advertising and marketing activities will be successful in increasing the number of consumers who visit our ecommerce platform, the number of submitted health insurance applications or the number of new members. If the advertising and
marketing activities are not successful or do not result in sufficient membership growth to offset the expenses of such activities, our operating margins could be adversely impacted and our business and operating results harmed.

We previously developed our Electronic Processing Interchange (EPI) technology to simplify the health insurance enrollment process and better integrate
our technology systems with those of health insurance carriers. The more our technology is integrated with our carrier partners, the more our application processing times, sales yields and processing costs improve. The third phase of our EPI
technology , which we call EPI III or eApproval, allows consumers to apply for health insurance online, electronically transmit signature and payment, receive an instant underwriting response and print membership material at
the point of approval on our website. We launched our eApproval technology with a carrier in California in the second quarter of 2008 and are currently working with other carriers in implementation of eApproval. We are dependent on health insurance
carriers to implement eApproval technology, and there can be no assurance that it will be implemented in any specific timeframe or otherwise. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such implementation will impact our membership growth rate,
improve sales yields or otherwise be effective. It is too early to determine the effectiveness of any technology or relationship that allows for expedited or instant underwriting, and the effectiveness of any such relationship or technology could be
influenced by a number of factors, including sufficient carrier adoption of the technology and willingness to enter into the relationship, carrier allocation of resources, carrier commitment and ability to integrate their systems with ours and to
provide expedited responses to insurance applications, system failures and process breakdowns, malfunctions, bugs or capacity constraints, the performance, reliability and availability of our ecommerce platform and underlying network infrastructure,
ecommerce security risks, compliance with insurance and other laws and regulations and changes in laws and regulations. In addition, our implementation of eApproval may materially impact other aspects of our business. For example, the shorter the
amount of time between submission of a health insurance application and coverage, the less there is a need for short term health insurance. In the event that we are not successful in integrating with our carrier partners to provide expedited
underwriting, or if such integration is not effective in improving the rate at which we convert visitors into members, our membership growth rate may decline, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

System failures or capacity constraints could harm our business and operating results.

Our revenue depends upon the number of health insurance applications consumers submit utilizing our ecommerce platform that are approved by health
insurance carriers. As a result, the performance, reliability and availability of our ecommerce platform and underlying network infrastructure are critical to our financial results, our brand and our relationship with members, marketing partners and
health insurance carriers. Although we regularly attempt to enhance our ecommerce platform and system infrastructure, system failures and interruptions may occur if we are unsuccessful in these efforts, if we are unable to accurately project the
rate or timing of increases in our website traffic or for other reasons, some of which are completely outside our control. Although we have experienced only minor system failures and interruptions to date, we could experience significant failures
and interruptions in the future, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We rely in part upon
third-party vendors, including data center and bandwidth providers, to operate our ecommerce platform. We cannot predict whether additional network capacity will be available from these vendors as we need it, and our network or our suppliers
networks might be unable to achieve or maintain a sufficiently high capacity of data transmission to allow us to process health insurance applications in a timely manner or effectively download data, especially if our website traffic increases. Any
system failure that causes an interruption in or decreases the responsiveness of our services would impair our revenue-generating capabilities and harm our business and operating results and damage our reputation. In addition, any loss of data could
result in loss of customers and subject us to potential liability. Our database and systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error,

earthquakes, fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, acts of terrorism, other attempts to
harm our systems and similar events. In addition, our operations are vulnerable to earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California. While we regularly back-up our system and store the system back-ups in a secure
third-party offsite location with restricted access near the San Francisco Bay area, we do not yet have full second-site redundancy. Although we are in the process of implementing a second offsite data recovery system, there can be no assurance that
the second-site will operate as designed or prevent a loss of data. If we were forced to rely on our system back-ups, we would experience significant delays in restoring the functionality of our website and could experience loss of data, which would
harm our business and our operating results. Although we maintain insurance to cover a variety of risks, the scope and amount of our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our losses resulting from system failures or other disruptions to
our online operations.

Consumers may access our customer care center for assistance in connection with submitting health insurance
applications through our ecommerce platform. We depend upon third parties, including telephone service providers, to operate our customer care center. Any failure of the systems that we rely upon in the operation of our customer care center could
negatively impact sales of insurance policies through our ecommerce platform or our relationship with consumers and members, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We depend upon Internet search engines to attract a significant portion of the consumers who visit our website, and if we are unable to effectively
advertise on search engines on a cost-effective basis, our business and operating results would be harmed.

We derive a significant
portion of our website traffic from consumers who search for health insurance through Internet search engines, such as Google, MSN and Yahoo!. A critical factor in attracting consumers to our website is whether we are prominently displayed in
response to an Internet search relating to health insurance. Search engines typically provide two types of search results, algorithmic listings and paid advertisements. We rely on both algorithmic listings and paid advertisements to attract
consumers to our website.

Algorithmic search result listings are determined and displayed in accordance with a set of formulas or
algorithms developed by the particular Internet search engine. The algorithms determine the order of the listing of results in response to the consumers Internet search. From time to time, search engines revise these algorithms. In some
instances, these modifications have caused our website to be listed less prominently in algorithmic search results, which has resulted in decreased traffic to our website. Our website may also become listed less prominently in algorithmic search
results for other reasons, such as search engine technical difficulties, search engine technical changes and changes we make to our website. In addition, search engines have deemed the practices of some companies to be inconsistent with search
engine guidelines and decided not to list their website in search result listings at all. If we are listed less prominently in, or removed altogether from, search result listings for any reason, the traffic to our website likely would decline and we
may not be able to replace this traffic, which in turn would harm our operating results. If we decide to attempt to replace this traffic, we may be required to increase our marketing expenditures, which would also harm our operating results.

We also purchase paid advertisements on search engines in order to attract consumers to our website. We typically pay a search engine for
prominent placement of our name and website when particular health insurance-related terms are searched for on the search engine, regardless of the algorithmic search result listings. In some circumstances, the prominence of the placement of our
name and website is determined by a combination of factors, including the amount we are willing to pay and algorithms designed to determine the relevance of our paid advertisement to a particular search term. As with algorithmic search result
listings, search engines may revise the algorithms relevant to paid advertisements. These revisions may result in our having to pay increased amounts to maintain our paid advertisement placement in response to a particular search term. Additionally,
we bid against our competitors and others for the display of these paid search engine advertisements. Many of our competitors, including many health insurance carriers, have greater resources with which to bid and better brand recognition than we
do. We recently have experienced increased competition from carriers for both algorithmic search result listings and for paid Internet advertisements, which has increased our marketing and advertising expenses. If this competition increases
significantly, or if the fees associated with paid search advertisements increase as a result of algorithm changes or other factors, our advertising expenses could rise significantly or we could reduce or discontinue our paid search advertisements,
either of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We rely significantly on marketing partners for the sale of health insurance on our ecommerce
platform and our business and operating results would be harmed if we are unable to maintain effective relationships with our existing marketing partners or if we do not establish successful relationships with new marketing partners.

In addition to marketing through Internet search engines, we frequently enter into contractual marketing relationships with other
online and offline businesses that promote us to their customers. These marketing partners include financial and online service companies, affiliate programs and online advertisers and content providers. We typically compensate our marketing
partners for their referrals on a submitted health insurance application basis and, if they are licensed to sell health insurance, may share a percentage of the commission we earn from the health insurance carrier for each member referred by the
marketing partner. Our agreements with many of our marketing partners are terminable on short notice.

Many factors influence the success
of our relationship with our marketing partners, including:



the continued positive market presence, reputation and growth of the marketing partner;



the effectiveness of the marketing partner in marketing our website and services, including whether the marketing partner is successful in maintaining the
prominence of its website in algorithmic search result listings and paid Internet advertisements;



the interest of the marketing partners customers in the health insurance products that we offer on our ecommerce platform;



the contractual terms we negotiate with the marketing partner, including the marketing fees we agree to pay a marketing partner;



the percentage of the marketing partners customers that submit applications or purchase health insurance policies through our ecommerce platform;



the ability of a marketing partner to maintain efficient and uninterrupted operation of its website; and



our ability to work with the marketing partner to implement website changes, launch marketing campaigns and pursue other initiatives necessary to maintain positive
consumer experiences and acceptable traffic volumes.

If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with our
existing marketing partners or fail to establish successful relationships with new marketing partners, our business, operating results and financial condition will be harmed.

Our revenue currently depends upon demand for health insurance in the individual, family and small business markets, which can be influenced by a variety
of factors beyond our control. For instance, we believe that an increasing number of individuals are becoming self-employed. In addition, as a result of substantial health insurance premium inflation in recent years, we believe that many employers
are seeking to reduce the costs associated with providing health insurance to their employees, including offering fewer benefits to employees, reducing or eliminating dependent coverage, increasing employee health insurance premium contributions and
eliminating health insurance benefits altogether. We also believe that demand in the individual and family health insurance market may increase as the employees of these employers look to other sources for their health insurance needs and as the
number of self-employed individuals increases. We have no control over the economic and other factors that influence these trends, and they may reverse. If economic or other factors beyond our control negatively impact our business, our operating
results and financial condition could be harmed. We continually evaluate and explore new strategies and opportunities in other segments of the health insurance market, such as Medicare, where we may be able to leverage our technology and experience.
We may not adopt these new strategies, and even if we do, we cannot predict whether demand for any new product or service will result in increased membership or revenue. However, if we are unable to successfully introduce new products and adopt new
strategies for the growth of our business, our business and financial condition may be harmed.

We cannot be certain of the future impact
that a recession or challenging economic conditions would have on our business. Consumers could attempt to reduce expenses by cancelling existing health insurance purchased through us, determine not to purchase new health insurance through us, or
purchase health insurance products with lower premiums for which we receive lower commissions. A recessionary environment could also negatively impact the health insurance carriers whose products are offered on our ecommerce platform, and they may,
among other things, determine to reduce their commission rates, increase premiums or reduce benefits, change their underwriting practices so that fewer consumers health insurance applications are approved or decrease the amount they are
willing to spend for marketing purposes, all of which would negatively impact our sale of health insurance as well as our sponsorship and technology licensing businesses. In the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we believe the negative aspects of
the current economic environment had an adverse impact on the number of applications for health insurance submitted through our ecommerce platform, which negatively impacts our membership growth rates. We believe that the impact was most evident in
our online advertising channel, where we observed slower year-over-year

growth in the number of individuals coming to our platform. Given the delay in our receipt of information regarding membership from our health insurance
carrier partners, we do no know to what extent the challenging economic environment has impacted our membership retention rates. The information we do possess indicates a small increase in the rate of member turnover in the quarter ended
December 31, 2007. To the extent the economy adversely impacts our membership retention or the number or type of health insurance applications submitted through us and that are approved by our health insurance carrier partners, our rate of
growth will decline and our business and operating results will be harmed.

In addition, interest rates recently have declined, and may
continue to decline, in response to economic conditions, and we have experienced a significant reduction in the rate of return on our investments. These and other negative impacts of weak economic conditions in the United States could have a
negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We rely on health insurance carriers to accurately and
regularly prepare commission reports, and if these reports are inaccurate or not sent to us in a timely manner, our business and operating results could be harmed. We also may not recognize trends in our membership as a result of a lack of
information from health insurance carriers.

Health insurance carriers typically pay us a specified percentage of the premium
amount collected by the carrier during the period that a member maintains coverage under a policy. We rely on carriers to timely and accurately report the amount of commissions earned by us, and we calculate our commission revenue, prepare our
financial reports, projections and budgets and direct our marketing and other operating efforts based on the reports we receive from health insurance carriers. It is often difficult for us to independently determine whether or not carriers are
reporting all commissions due to us, primarily because the majority of our members terminate their policies by discontinuing their premium payments to the carrier instead of by informing us of the cancellation. To the extent that health insurance
carriers understate or fail to report the amount of commissions due to us in a timely manner or at all, we will not collect and recognize revenue to which we are entitled, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We also are dependent on our carrier partners and others for data related to our membership. For instance, with respect to health
insurance products other than small business group health insurance, our carrier partners do not directly report member cancellations to us, resulting in the need for us to determine cancellations using payment data that carriers provide. We infer
cancellations from this payment data by analyzing whether payments from members have ceased for a period of time, and we may not learn of a cancellation for several months, given that some of our members pay on a schedule less frequently than
monthly (e.g., quarterly). With respect to our small business group membership, many groups notify the carrier directly with respect to increases or decreases in group size and policy cancellations. Our insurance carrier partners often do not
communicate this information to us, and it often takes a significant amount of time for us to learn about small business group cancellations and changes in our membership within the group itself. We often are not made aware of policy cancellations
until the time of the groups annual renewal.

After we have estimated membership for a period, we may receive information from health
insurance carriers that would have impacted the estimate if we had received the information prior to the date of estimation. We may receive commission payments or other information that indicates that a member who was not included in our estimates
for a prior period was in fact an active member at that time, or that a member who was included in our estimates was in fact not an active member of ours. We also reconcile information carriers provide to us and may determine that we were not
historically paid commissions owed to us, which would cause us to have underestimated our membership. Additionally, carriers may require us to return commission payments paid in a prior period due to policy cancellations for members we previously
estimated as being active. For various reasons, including if current trends in membership cancellation are inconsistent with past cancellation trends that we use to estimate our membership or if carriers subsequently report changes to the commission
payments that they previously reported to us, our actual membership could be different from our estimates, perhaps materially. Total revenue per estimated member for the period would also change if our estimated membership changed. Our estimate
regarding the average amount of time our members maintain their health insurance products also could be inaccurate as it is dependent upon the accuracy of our membership estimates.

The timing of our revenue depends upon the timing of our receipt of commission reports and associated
payments from health insurance carriers. Although carriers typically report and pay commissions to us on a monthly basis, there have been instances where their report of commissions and payment have been delayed. In addition, much of our commission
override revenue is not reported and paid to us in accordance with a scheduled pattern, and some is only reported and paid to us once per year. This could result in a large amount of commission revenue from a carrier being recorded in a given
quarter that is

not indicative of the amount of revenue we may receive from that carrier in subsequent quarters, causing fluctuations in our operating results. We could
report revenue below the expectations of our investors or securities analysts in any particular period if a material report or payment from a health insurance carrier were delayed or not received within the time frame required for revenue
recognition.

We may be unsuccessful in competing effectively against current and future competitors.

The market for selling health insurance products is intensely competitive and the sale of health insurance over the Internet is new and rapidly evolving.
Consumers have the ability to use several sources other than our ecommerce platform to research and purchase health insurance. In addition, consumers can research health insurance using our ecommerce platform and purchase their health insurance
through one of our competitors. We compete directly with health insurance carriers, including many of the carriers that offer health insurance through our ecommerce platform. Many carriers market and sell their health insurance plans, including
those that are offered on our ecommerce platform, directly to consumers using call centers, their own websites and other means.

We also
compete with a large number of local insurance agents across the United States that sell health insurance products in their local communities. Some of these traditional insurance agents utilize the Internet in various ways to acquire their
customers. For instance, some local agents use lead aggregator services that use the Internet to find consumers interested in purchasing health insurance and are compensated for referring those consumers to the traditional agent. As we
do, lead aggregators often use Internet search engines and other forms of online advertising to drive Internet traffic to the lead aggregators website. In addition to traditional agents, a number of agents operate websites that provide some
form of online shopping experience for consumers interested in purchasing health insurance. Although some of these online agents only sell health insurance in a limited number of states and/or represent only a limited number of health insurance
carriers, these agents could expand their service area and product offerings.

We may not be able to compete successfully against our
current or future competitors. Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do.
As compared to us, our current and future competitors may be able to:



undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their brands and services;



devote more resources to website and systems development;



negotiate more favorable commission rates and commission override payments; and



make more attractive offers to potential employees, marketing partners and third-party service providers.

A portion of our operations is conducted in China. Among other things, we use employees in China to maintain and update our
ecommerce platform. This and other information is delivered to us through secured communications over the Internet. Our business would be harmed if this connection temporarily failed, and we were prevented from promptly updating our software or
implementing other changes to our database and systems. Our operations in China also expose us to different and unfamiliar laws, rules and regulations, including different intellectual property laws, which are not as protective of our intellectual
property as the laws in the United States, and different labor and tax laws. United States and Chinese trade laws may impose restrictions on the importation of programming or technology to or from the United States. These risks could cause us to
incur increased expenses and could harm our ability to effectively and successfully manage our operations in China, which in turn could cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer. We plan to continue to expand our
Chinese operations. These plans will require additional management attention and resources and may be unsuccessful, as we have limited experience with respect to operations in China.

In addition, our subsidiary in China has a subsidiary business insurance agency license in China pursuant to which we are selling health, accident and
life insurance in the Fujian province in China. Our license is up for renewal at the end of 2008. Our subsidiary launched a pilot program to market insurance online in the city of Xiamen in the Fujian province of China. We also have entered into a
relationship with a local insurance agency in Shanghai, China, pursuant to which we offer the local insurance agencys insurance products in Shanghai on our website. We have no prior experience marketing or selling insurance in China or in
adapting our business and ecommerce platform to Chinese markets and cultures, legal and

regulatory regimes or business customs. For instance, the laws and regulations applicable to our marketing and selling insurance online in China are unclear,
and our operations may be in violation of them. The consequences of violating insurance laws and regulations in China are unclear, but they could result in the termination of our license and could harm our business as a whole. For various reasons,
we may not expand the pilot program to other geographic areas, and even if we do, there can be no assurance that our ecommerce platform in China would ever generate a significant amount of revenue or otherwise be successful. Our success in
establishing an insurance business in China is dependent upon many of the factors that influence the success of our business in the United States, including, but not limited to, our receiving regulatory approvals (including the renewal of our
license), acceptance of the Internet and our ecommerce platform as a marketplace for the purchase of insurance, our success in marketing our ecommerce platform and in retaining members who purchase insurance through that platform, our ability to
enter into and maintain relationships with insurance carriers, the affordability of the insurance products offered, insurance carrier business practices, the effectiveness with which we establish a brand identity, performance, reliability and
availability of our ecommerce platform, competition, the regulatory and healthcare reimbursement environment and changes to the environment, our ability to attract qualified personnel and network security.

Our participation and success in the Shanghai market may be impacted by additional factors given that the insurance products offered on our website are
offered through another insurance agent, including our dependence on a single insurance agent for the products on our website, the agents relationship with insurance carriers and consumers, the agents ability to maintain its licenses and
regulatory approvals, and the number, quality and attractiveness of the insurance products offered by the agent. While there is no certainty that we would be able to expand our presence in the insurance industry in China, we may attempt to do so. If
we decide to do so, we may need to receive additional government licenses and approvals or enter into additional relationships and may face disadvantages in doing so as a result of our subsidiary in China being wholly foreign owned.

Our rate of growth may decline if we are unable to increase our revenue relating to sponsorship advertising.

We sell advertising space to health insurance carriers on our website through our sponsorship advertising program. Our sponsorship advertising program
allows carriers to purchase advertising space in specific markets in a sponsorship area on our website. Our sponsorship advertising initiative is relatively new and, if we do not continue to successfully increase our revenue from the sale of
sponsorship advertising, our rate of growth may decline. The success of our sponsorship advertising program is dependent upon a number of factors, including the effectiveness of the sponsorship advertising program as a cost-effective method for
carriers to obtain additional members, consumer and health insurance carrier adoption of the Internet and our ecommerce platform as a medium for the purchase and sale of health insurance, our ability to attract consumers visiting our ecommerce
platform and convert those consumers into members, the existence of a relationship between us and a diverse group of carriers that offer a number of health insurance plans in the markets in which we attempt to sell sponsorship advertising, the cost
and other features of the health insurance product that is the subject of the sponsorship advertising, the impact the sponsorship advertising has on the sale of the health insurance product that is the subject of the advertising and the
effectiveness of the carriers other means of advertising. In addition, while our practice of selling sponsorship advertising is described on our ecommerce platform, it could cause consumers to perceive us as not objective, which could harm our
brand and result in a decline in our health insurance sales. It also could adversely impact our relationship with health insurance carriers that do not purchase our sponsorship advertising. As a result, our business, operating results and financial
condition could be harmed.

We may not be successful in licensing our ecommerce technology to health insurance carriers and other
third parties.

We license the use of our ecommerce technology to health insurance carriers and agents. Carriers use our platform
to offer their own health insurance policies on their websites, and agents use it to power their quoting and online content. Our technology licensing initiative is relatively new and, if we do not continue to successfully increase our revenue from
the license of our technology, our rate of growth may decline. The business of licensing the use of our technology to others could facilitate carrier and other third party competition with us in the sale of health insurance over the Internet and is
subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including consumer and health insurance carrier adoption of our ecommerce platform as a medium for the purchase and sale of health insurance, our ability to establish relationships with new
health insurance carriers, the reliability and performance of our ecommerce platform and the relative cost of developing competing technology. If we are not able to offer health insurance carriers and other third parties a reliable platform to
cost-efficiently offer their products over the Internet, our technology licensing business will be unsuccessful.

We are in the process of developing a business health savings account (HSA) platform to facilitate employer contributions to employee HSAs. We have
entered into a relationship with a third party that helped to develop and assists in administering the HSA component of the platform, including its HSA bank account component. This third party has the relationship with one or more banks that may act
as custodian of the HSAs established in connection with the platform. The success of the business HSA platform will depend upon a number of factors, including the attractiveness of the platform to businesses and employees; our effectiveness in
engaging partners, such as associations, banks and other financial services partners, to market the platform; our ability to otherwise successfully market the platform and make it understandable and easy to navigate; our ability to maintain an
effective relationship with the third party that assists in administering the HSA component of the platform; our ability and this third partys ability to maintain a relationship with a bank that acts as custodian for the HSAs opened using the
platform; our ability to enter into and maintain a relationship with a bank that will act as processor for the debit cards that relate to the HSAs opened using the platform; the ability of the third party and a bank to successfully manage and
operate the HSA aspects of the platform; our ability and the ability of the third party and relevant bank to avoid process breakdowns, malfunctions, technical difficulties and bugs in the platform; the performance, reliability and availability of
the platform and our success in training our customer care center representatives to adequately serve consumers desiring assistance with respect to HSAs. We are dependent upon third parties to operate the platform, and the platforms success
depends in part on our ability to maintain effective relationships with those parties as well as their allocation of sufficient resources and commitment to develop the platform within certain timeframes.

The insurance, banking and other laws and regulations applicable to the platform are complicated and in some cases unclear. For example, it is possible
that certain states could take the position that the platform or marketing individual insurance into businesses violates certain laws and regulations, including those relating to the sale of insurance to small businesses. The HSA platform also
increases our potential exposure under laws and regulations relating to privacy and security as we have access to certain financial and confidential information of consumers using the platform. In light of legal and regulatory risks, we may
determine not to launch the platform in certain states. Regardless, we could be subject to adverse legal and regulatory action in any state from departments of insurance and otherwise and may need to cease offering the platform in those states. If
the business HSA platform is not successful, our business and operating results could be harmed and our rate of growth may decline.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which could harm our business and operating results.

We believe that our intellectual property is an essential asset of our business and that our technology infrastructure currently gives us a competitive advantage in the distribution of individual, family and small business health insurance.
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in the United States. Although we have pending patent
applications in the United States, they may not result in issued patents. We have not filed for protection of our intellectual property in any foreign jurisdiction other than China. We have Chinese-registered computer software copyrights for an
internally-developed software system and a project management tool and have filed certain trademark applications in China. We have not filed any patent applications in China. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be
sufficient or effective, and our trademarks, copyrights and patents if issued, may be held invalid or unenforceable. Moreover, the law relating to intellectual property is not as developed in China, and our intellectual property rights may not be as
respected in China as they are in the United States. Any United States or other patents issued to us may not be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary technologies, and given the costs of obtaining patent protection, we may choose not to seek
patent protection for certain of our proprietary technologies. We may not be effective in policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property, and even if we do detect violations, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property
rights. Any enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive, could divert our managements attention and may result in a court determining that our intellectual property rights are unenforceable. If
we are not successful in cost-effectively protecting our intellectual property rights, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies
in the future.

Companies in the Internet and technology industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade
secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We have received, and may in the future receive, notices that claim we have misappropriated or misused other
parties intellectual property rights, and, to the extent we gain greater visibility, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims. There may be third-party intellectual property rights, including
issued or pending

patents, that cover significant aspects of our technologies or business methods. Any intellectual property claim against us, with or without merit, could be
time consuming, expensive to settle or litigate and could divert our managements attention and other resources. These claims also could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in our having to stop using technology
found to be in violation of a third partys rights. We might be required to seek a license for third-party intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Even if a license is available, we could be required to
pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. We may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop technology for any
infringing aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit our services and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Any legal liability, regulatory penalties, or negative publicity for the information on our website or that we distribute will likely harm our
business and operating results.

Our members rely upon information we provide on our website, through our customer care center or
otherwise regarding the health insurance plans offered on our website, including information relating to insurance premiums, coverage, benefits, exclusions, limitations, availability, plan comparisons and insurance company ratings. A significant
amount of both automated and manual effort is required to maintain the considerable amount of insurance plan information on our website. Separately, from time to time, we use the information provided on our website and otherwise collected by us to
publish reports designed to educate consumers, facilitate public debate, and effectuate reform at the state and federal level relating to the accessibility and affordability of health insurance. If the information we provide on our website, through
our customer care center or otherwise is not accurate or is construed as misleading, members, health insurance carriers and others could attempt to hold us liable for damages, and state regulators could attempt to subject us to penalties, revoke our
license to transact health insurance business in a particular jurisdiction, and/or compromise the status of our licenses to transact health insurance business in other jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of operating our business, we have received
complaints that the information we provided was not accurate or was misleading. Although in the past we have resolved these complaints without significant financial cost, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so in the future. In addition,
these types of claims could be time-consuming and expensive to defend, could divert our managements attention and other resources, and could cause a loss of confidence in our services. As a result, whether or not we are able to successfully
resolve these claims, they could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of our business, we
have received and may continue to receive inquiries from state regulators relating to various matters. We have become, and may in the future become, involved in litigation in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to have violated laws
or regulations in any state, we could be subject to various fines and penalties, including revocation of our license to sell insurance in that state (which could impact our licenses in other jurisdictions), and our business and financial results
would be harmed. We would also be harmed to the extent that related publicity damages our reputation as a trusted source of objective information relating to health insurance and its affordability. It could also be costly to defend ourselves
regardless of the outcome.

We rely on insurance to mitigate some risks and, to the extent the cost of insurance increases or we
maintain insufficient coverage, our business and operating results may be harmed.

We contract for insurance to cover potential
business risks and liabilities. We also are required to maintain errors and omissions insurance in order to sell health insurance. In the current environment, insurance companies are increasingly specific about what they will and will not insure. It
is possible that we may not be able to obtain sufficient insurance to meet our needs, may have to pay very high prices for the coverage we do obtain or may not acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk. This could leave us exposed,
and to the extent we incur liabilities and expenses for which we are not adequately insured, our business, operating results and financial condition could be negatively impacted. Also, to the extent the cost of maintaining insurance increases, our
operating expenses will rise, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our ability to attract and
retain qualified personnel is critical to our success.

Our success is dependent upon the performance of our senior management and
key personnel. Our management and employees can terminate their employment at any time, and the loss of the services of any of our executive officers or key employees could harm our business. For example, we are required to appoint a writing agent
with each insurance carrier with which we have a relationship in every state. Currently, a single part-time employee acts as writing agent with respect to many carriers with which we have a relationship; however, we are now in the process of
transferring the duties of writing agent for those carriers to an existing executive officer and appointing a back-up writing agent. If we lose the service of our appointed writing agent prior to the completion of a transfer to a particular carrier,
the duties of writing agent will need to be transitioned to other company personnel. Due to our national reach and the large number of carrier partners whose

policies are purchased by our members, this transition may be difficult and requires a significant period of time to complete. If the transition is not
successful or takes too long to complete, our agency relationship with particular insurance carriers may be terminated, our commission payments could be discontinued and, as a result, our business and operating results could be harmed. Our success
is also dependent upon our ability to attract additional personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition for qualified personnel at all levels is increasingly more intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such
personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, our business would be harmed.

All of our senior management and key employees have sold shares of our common stock in the open market, and some have sold a significant portion of their vested holdings. These employees may be more likely to leave us
given that they have liquidated some or a substantial percentage of their holdings. Our senior management and key employees work for us on an at-will basis and our business could be harmed if we lose their services.

If we fail to manage future growth effectively, our business and operating results would be harmed.

We have expanded our operations significantly and anticipate that further expansion will be required in order for us to grow our business. Our growth has
placed, and if our growth continues will continue to place, increasing and significant demands on our management, our operational and financial systems and infrastructure and our other resources. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the
quality of our services could suffer, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In order to manage future growth, we will need to hire, integrate and retain highly skilled and motivated employees. We will also be
required to continue to improve our existing systems for operational and financial management, including our reporting systems, procedures and controls. These improvements may require significant capital expenditures and will place increasing
demands on our management. We may not be successful in managing or expanding our operations or in maintaining adequate financial and operating systems and controls. If we do not successfully implement improvements in these areas, our business,
operating results and financial condition will be harmed.

Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our financial results.

The number of health insurance applications submitted through our ecommerce platform has generally increased in our first quarter
compared to our fourth quarter and in our third quarter compared to our second quarter. Conversely, we have generally experienced a decline or flattening of submitted applications in our second quarter compared to our first quarter and in our fourth
quarter compared to our third quarter. Because a significant portion of our marketing and advertising expenses are driven by the number of health insurance applications submitted on our ecommerce platform, those expenses generally have increased or
decreased in conjunction with these seasonal patterns. We believe that consumer adoption of the Internet is still in its early stages and, therefore, the reasons for these seasonal patterns are not entirely clear. As the use of the Internet for the
purchase and sale of health insurance becomes more widely accepted, other seasonality trends may develop and the existing seasonality and consumer behavior that we experience may change. Any seasonality that we experience may cause fluctuations in
our financial results.

We may decide to acquire businesses, products and technologies. We have not made any acquisitions to date, and
our ability as an organization to successfully make acquisitions is unproven. Acquisitions could require significant capital infusions and could involve many risks, including the following:



an acquisition may negatively impact our results of operations because it may require us to incur charges and substantial debt or liabilities, may require the
amortization, write down or impairment of amounts related to deferred compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets, or may cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges;



an acquisition undertaken for strategic business purposes may negatively impact our results of operations;



we may encounter difficulties in assimilating and integrating the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of companies that we acquire,
particularly if key personnel of the acquired company decide not to work for us;

we may be required to implement or improve internal controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at a business that prior to the acquisition
lacked these controls, procedures and policies;

the acquired businesses, products or technologies may not generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs or to maintain our rate of growth;



we may have to issue equity securities to complete an acquisition, which would dilute our stockholders ownership and could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock; and



acquisitions may involve the entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no prior experience.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or consummate any future acquisition on favorable terms, or at all. If we do pursue an acquisition,
it is possible that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition or that the financial markets or investors will negatively view the acquisition. Even if we successfully complete an acquisition, it could harm our business,
operating results and financial condition.

Issues arising from the implementation of our new commission accounting system and an
enterprise data management system could affect our operating results and ability to manage our business effectively.

We have
completed implementation of our new commission accounting system for the majority of our health insurance products. We have commenced implementation of the last phase, related to our small business products, which we expect to complete by the end of
2008. In addition, we are in the initial stages of implementing an enterprise data management system. Each of these systems is or will be important to our accounting, financial and operating functions, and the implementation of these systems raises
costs and risks associated with the conversion to new systems, including disruption to our normal accounting procedures and problems achieving accuracy in the conversion of electronic data. Failure to properly or adequately address these issues
could result in increased costs and the diversion of managements attention and resources and could harm our operating results and ability to manage our business effectively.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements could be impaired, which could
adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our stock price.

We have a complex business
organization. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to help ensure that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be
re-evaluated frequently. During 2007, we documented our internal controls and procedures in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting as of the end of each year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in each Annual Report on Form 10-K. Section 404 also requires our
independent registered public accounting firm to report on our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in
the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As a result, we cannot assure that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be
identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, cause us to fail to timely
meet our periodic reporting obligations, or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual auditor attestation reports regarding
disclosure controls and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The existence of a material weakness could result in
errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of financial statements, cause us to fail to timely meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a
decline in our stock price.

Our net income in future periods could be significantly reduced as a result of employee stock-based
compensation expense.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R requires measurement of all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and the recording of such expense in the condensed consolidated
financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 123R requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects, and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects, resulting from share-based payment arrangements. We adopted SFAS 123R on
January 1, 2006. As permitted, we will continue to account for the portion of awards outstanding on or before December 31, 2005 using the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and its related interpretative guidance. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, we recorded stock-based compensation expense totaling $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to stock options,
restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted to employees and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Total unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to these stock options, restricted stock awards and
restricted stock units at June 30, 2008 was approximately $13.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $1.4 million. This amount will be amortized on a straight-line basis and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
We expect to continue to grant additional equity awards in the future and that the impact of expenses related to those grants will be material over time.

Changes in our provision for income taxes or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our results.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by earnings differing materially from our
projections; by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; by expiration of or lapses in the research and development tax credit laws; by tax effects of share-based compensation; or by changes in tax laws, regulations,
accounting principles, including accounting for uncertain tax positions, or interpretations thereof. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attribute prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which we adopted on January 1, 2007. In addition, FIN 48 applies to all income tax
positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. In addition, we are subject to examinations of our income tax
returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There may be exposure that the outcomes
from these examinations will have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Any expansion of
our business into foreign countries involves significant risks.

We currently do not sell health insurance or license our
technology platform outside the United States other than in China. Our subsidiary in China recently launched pilot programs to market and sell insurance online in the city of Xiamen in the Fujian province of China and in Shanghai, China. We may
attempt to expand our pilot programs to additional geographic regions. We face significant challenges in connection with expanding our business into any foreign country, since we have no prior experience marketing or selling insurance in any foreign
jurisdiction. Additionally, demand for private health insurance is not significant in many foreign countries as a result of government-sponsored healthcare systems. In addition to facing many of the same challenges we face domestically, we also
would have to overcome other obstacles such as:



legal, political or systemic restrictions on the ability of United States companies to market insurance or otherwise do business in foreign countries;



varied, unfamiliar and unclear legal and regulatory restrictions;



less extensive adoption of the Internet as a commerce medium or information source and increased restriction on the content of websites; and



the adaptation of our website and distribution model to fit the particular foreign country.

As a result of these obstacles, we may find it impossible or prohibitively expensive to expand our services internationally or we may be unsuccessful
should we attempt to do so, either of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Compliance with the strict regulatory environment applicable to the health insurance industry and the specific products we sell is difficult and
costly. If we fail to comply with the numerous laws and regulations that are applicable to our business, our business and operating results would be harmed.

The health insurance industry is heavily regulated by each state in the United States. For instance, state regulators require us to maintain a valid license in each state in which we transact health insurance business
and further require that we adhere to sales, documentation and administration practices specific to that state. In addition, each employee who transacts health insurance business on our behalf must maintain a valid license in one or more states.
Because we do business in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, compliance with health insurance-related laws, rules and regulations is difficult and imposes significant costs on our business. Each jurisdictions insurance department
typically has the power, among other things, to:



grant and revoke licenses to transact insurance business;



conduct inquiries into the insurance-related activities and conduct of agents and agencies;



require and regulate disclosure in connection with the sale and solicitation of health insurance;



authorize how, by which personnel and under what circumstances insurance premiums can be quoted and published and an insurance policy sold;



approve which entities can be paid commissions from carriers;



regulate the content of insurance-related advertisements, including web pages;

Due to the complexity, periodic modification and differing interpretations of insurance laws and regulations, we may not have always been, and we may not always be, in compliance with them. Failure to comply could result in significant
liability, additional department of insurance licensing requirements or the revocation of licenses in a particular jurisdiction, which could significantly increase our operating expenses, prevent us from transacting health insurance business in a
particular jurisdiction and otherwise harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, an adverse regulatory action in one jurisdiction could result in penalties and adversely affect our license status or reputation in other
jurisdictions due to the requirement that adverse regulatory actions in one jurisdiction be reported to other jurisdictions. Even if the allegations in any regulatory or other action against us are proven false, any surrounding negative publicity
could harm consumer, marketing partner or health insurance carrier confidence in us, which could significantly damage our brand. Because some consumers, marketing partners and health insurance carriers may not be comfortable with the concept of
purchasing health insurance using the Internet, any negative publicity may affect us more than it would others in the health insurance industry and would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, we have received, and may in the future receive, inquiries from state insurance regulators regarding our marketing and business practices.
We typically respond by explaining how we believe we are in compliance with relevant regulations or may modify our practices in connection with the inquiry. Any modification of our marketing or business practices in response to future regulatory
inquiries could harm our business, operating results or financial condition.

Regulation of the sale of health insurance is subject
to change, and future regulations could harm our business and operating results.

The laws and regulations governing the offer,
sale and purchase of health insurance are subject to change, and future changes may be adverse to our business. For example, once health insurance pricing is set by the carrier and approved by state regulators, it is fixed and not generally subject
to negotiation or discounting by insurance companies or agents. Additionally, state regulations generally prohibit carriers, agents and brokers from providing financial incentives, such as rebates, to their members in connection with the sale of
health insurance. As a result, we do not currently compete with carriers or other agents and brokers on the price of the health insurance products offered on our website. If these regulations change, we could be forced to reduce prices or provide
rebates or other incentives for the health insurance products sold through our ecommerce platform, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Another example of a potentially adverse regulatory change relates to the adoption of guaranteed issue laws and regulations in the individual
and family health insurance markets. These requirements, which are currently in effect in a limited number of states such as Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York and have been proposed in California, prohibit

health insurance carriers from denying health insurance coverage to individuals based on their health status. It has been our experience that substantially
fewer health insurance carriers offer plans in the individual and family health insurance market in states with guaranteed issue regulations in effect compared to others. Moreover, health insurance carriers that do offer individual and family plans
may charge substantially increased premiums and/or pay reduced commissions to agents. We believe that limited choice and high premiums result in less demand for individual and family health insurance plans which, when coupled with reduced
commissions to agents, results in substantially less revenue for us in these states. Our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed if the adoption of guaranteed issue laws or regulations becomes more widespread and results
in less demand and/or reduced commissions.

In some states, guaranteed issue laws have or could be coupled with related measures that may
impact our business. For example, a proposal in California included a combination of a number of items, including a guaranteed issue component, a mandate that requires all individuals to purchase or otherwise obtain health insurance and
a requirement that health insurance carriers spend 85% or more of premium revenue on patient care. Additionally, the Presidential election candidates of each major party have expressed their views with respect to healthcare reform at a general
level, but have not proffered detailed proposals. Given the generality with which they have expressed their views, it is not possible for us to predict the impact the Presidential election will have on our business. We cannot be certain of the
impact of any new legislation at the state or federal level, but it could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, speculation regarding the Presidential election or potential changes in the regulatory environment
in which we operate creates uncertainties that could lead to increased volatility and a reduction in our stock price in the short term.

We
are also subject to additional insurance regulatory risks, because we use the Internet as our distribution platform. In many cases, it is not clear how existing insurance laws and regulations apply to Internet-related health insurance advertisements
and transactions. To the extent that new laws or regulations are adopted that conflict with the way we conduct our business, or to the extent that existing laws and regulations are interpreted adversely to us, our business, operating results and
financial condition would be harmed.

Changes and developments in the structure of the health insurance system in the United States
could harm our business.

Our business depends upon the private sector of the United States health insurance system, its relative
role in financing healthcare delivery and health insurance carriers use of agents and brokers to market their products. Fundamental changes to this system or in the manner in which health insurance is distributed in the United States could
reduce or eliminate the demand for private health insurance for individuals, families and small businesses or increase our competition, which would harm our business. Recently, there has been substantial national and state attention and debate
regarding the fairest and most effective method of healthcare reimbursement. For instance, some advocates promote a single-payer healthcare system that would be largely underwritten by the state or federal government. The adoption of state or
federal laws that promote or establish a government-sponsored single-payer healthcare system could reduce or eliminate the number of individuals, families and small businesses seeking or permitted to purchase private health insurance or supplemental
coverage, which would substantially reduce the demand for our service and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Other proposals seek to provide health insurance coverage to all individuals, but do so by maintaining many key aspects of the private sector health insurance system rather than proposing a single-payer system. We do not know what impact
the adoption of proposals like these would have on our business, but they could, if implemented, harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Internet and Electronic Commerce

Our business is subject to online commerce security risks and,
if we are unable to safeguard the security and privacy of confidential data, our business will be harmed.

Our services involve the
collection and storage of confidential information of consumers and the transmission of this information to their chosen health insurance carriers. For example, we collect names, addresses, Social Security and credit card numbers, and information
regarding the medical history of consumers in connection with their applications for health insurance. We cannot guarantee that we will be free of security breaches. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect
against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches. Despite our implementation of security measures, techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently. As a result, we may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Any compromise or perceived compromise of our security could damage our reputation and our relationship with our members, marketing partners and health insurance carriers,
could reduce demand for our services and could subject us to significant liability as well as regulatory action, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Government regulation of the Internet could adversely affect our business.

The laws governing general commerce on the Internet remain unsettled and it may take years to fully determine whether and how existing laws such as those
governing intellectual property, privacy and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional
burdens on companies conducting business over the Internet. Any new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations relating to the Internet could harm our business and we could be forced to incur substantial costs in
order to comply with them, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business could be harmed if
we are unable to correspond with our consumers by email.

We use email to market our services to potential members and as the
primary means of communicating with our existing members. The laws and regulations governing the use of email for marketing purposes continue to evolve and the growth and development of the market for commerce over the Internet may lead to the
adoption of additional legislation. If new laws or regulations are adopted, or existing laws and regulations are interpreted, to impose additional restrictions on our ability to send email to our members or potential members, we may not be able to
communicate with them in a cost-effective manner. In addition to legal restrictions on the use of email, Internet service providers and others attempt to block the transmission of unsolicited email, commonly known as spam. If an Internet
service provider or software program identifies email from us as spam, we can be placed on a restricted list that will block our email to members or potential members who maintain email accounts with these Internet service providers or
who use these software programs. If we are unable to communicate by email with our members and potential members as a result of legislation, blockage or otherwise, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

Consumers depend upon third-party service providers to access our website, and our business and operating results could be harmed as a result of
technical difficulties experienced by these service providers.

Consumers using our website depend upon Internet, online and other
service providers for access to our website. Many of these service providers have experienced significant outages, delays and other difficulties in the past and could experience them in the future. Any significant interruption in access to our
website or increase in our websites response time as a result of these difficulties could damage our relationship with insurance carriers, marketing partners and existing and potential members and could harm our business, operating results and
financial condition.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

The trading price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility, and our stockholders may be unable to resell their
shares at a profit.

The stock markets, in general, and the markets for high technology stocks in particular, have experienced high
levels of volatility. The market for technology stocks has been extremely volatile and frequently reaches levels that bear no relationship to the past or present operating performance of those companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the trading price of our common stock has been subject to significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate or decline. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our
common stock include, but are not limited to, the following:



price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;



significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in general, and companies in our industry;



actual or anticipated changes in our results of operations or fluctuations in our operating results;



actual or anticipated changes in the expectations of investors or securities analysts, including changes in financial estimates or investment recommendations by
securities analysts who follow our business and changes in perceptions relating to the economy;

technological advances or introduction of new products by us or our competitors;



actual or anticipated developments in our competitors businesses or the competitive landscape generally;



litigation involving us, our industry or both;



actual or anticipated regulatory developments in the United States, foreign countries or both;



major catastrophic events;



our sale of common stock or other securities in the future;



the trading volume of our common stock, as well as sales of large blocks of our stock; or



departures of key personnel.

These
factors, as well as general economic and political conditions and the announcement of proposed and completed acquisitions or other significant transactions, or any difficulties associated with such transactions, by us or our strategic partners,
customers or our current competitors, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action
litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation could result in substantial cost and a diversion of managements attention and resources. In addition, volatility, lack of positive performance in our stock price or
changes to our overall compensation program, including our equity incentive program, may adversely affect our ability to retain key employees.

Certain provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage takeover attempts and lead to management entrenchment.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These
provisions include:



a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of
directors;



cumulative voting in the election of directors is prohibited, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;



the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or
removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;



the ability of our board of directors to determine to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including
preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror;



a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;



the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the board of
directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; and



advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a
stockholders meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirors own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law. Under Delaware law, a corporation may, in
general, not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction.
